Well, i’ve had this blog set up and ready for content for a week or two now, but didn’t really know how to start it off. I wanted to kinda avoid the “blogging about blogging” intro, and jump right in, but that doesn’t make it easy to get going!
So let me start with an update, since it was over a year ago that I last publicly posted what I was doing with my life.
First and foremost, I have gotten married! I love Sarah deeply, and greatly enjoy being married to her. She is gorgeous, intelligent, holy woman who i look forward to getting to know more completely over the years. I’m not worthy!
I have been working for myself, doing small office network administration, and web design and programming. I love having the flexible schedule and getting to work from home. But i haven’t paid any taxes yet, so I still need to do some work on the business end of this business.
Sarah and I live with an animal. The beast is a beautiful beagle by the name of Mia. Mia was an engagement present to Sarah (and so were all my many hours of puppy-watching while Sarah works), instead of the traditional African-exploiting over-valued punch in the bank account.
We live in a studio apartment (#601) in Seattle, with a fantastic view of Puget Sound. Our neighborhood is called the “Central District”, is historically black, and is avoided by many people we talk to (”I just couldn’t live there”). We love it.
I was confirmed in the Catholic Church last January, and we attend St. Joseph Parish. It’s the church in which we were married. We both enjoy many wonderful things about being Catholic and being active in this parish in particular.
That pretty much sums it up! I’m sure I’ll be touching on all these points in subsequent posts, but don’t hesitate to let me know if you want to hear more on anything. I will try to keep this blog fun yet meaningful and personal.
Thanks for reading!
